Tutoring Services for AOP Students

ONLY AVAILABLE FOR AOP STUDENTS

If you need extra help in a course and prefer individualized or small group tutoring, you can schedule an appointment with a highly accomplished tutor to assist you in your learning.

Our tutors have taken these courses, achieving a B+ or higher, and have earned a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0. Students interested in applying to be a tutor must be mature role models and possess an understanding of their unique responsibility as stewards of the AOP support services. Tutorial services are funded by the AOP Department and the TRiO Student Support Services grant.

AOP students may continue to book appointments with tutors via Navigate. For fall 2021 our default meeting mode will be in-person, utilizing the AOP Learning Center in Erwin 202 and 222. If you would prefer a virtual tutoring session please email aoptutoring@geneseo.edu.
